Got the idea of it being this genus from : https://www.flickr.com/photos/wwwssncomphotos/47809793232/in/pool-mothsofindia/
Now from the Indian biodiversity portal the following have been recorded :-
1. Risoba repugnans Walker, 1856
2.Risoba variegata Moore, 1882
3.Risoba literata Moore, 1881
4.Risoba diversipennis Walker, 1858
5.Risoba obstructa Moore, 1881
After checking for R.diversipennis I eleiminated it as the hind wing corners are too dark in that species ( unlike my specimen) http://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=368948
After checking Risoba variegata Moore, 1882 , it didnt match at all. Pitrasa variegata is the same as Risoba variegata Moore, 1882.

After checking for Risoba obstructa , I eliminated it as the species as a white thorax. Mine has a double black marked thorax
